Yeah I dont get why he hasnt stopped being a fidget if he is engaged? i'm sure they are meant to calm down now. No more full turns etc but deff pushing out which is uncomfortable.
My belly feels really tights and everyone says even tho i'm deff got bigger its still really round so maybe he just hasnt got alot of room? OR he is being a typical boy (a pain )

I already had stretch marks from my daughter and they dont seem to have gotten any worse (YET... still got to the to the dreaded 36wks) but my thighs have deff got abit chunkier Breastfeeding burns off an extra 300-400 calories a day so i'm deff sticking to breastfeeding no matter what!!! lol
But I found it pretty easy going back to my usual weight (even my hip size went back to normal after about 6wks) so hoping will be the same this time round.

Emmylee your SSOOO lucky! my sister-in-law is the same. she is 25, 2 kids and doesnt even look like she has had kids. no stretchmarks and back to a size 6 in about 8 weeks. I dont know how she does it. Dont even think she put on that much weight during pregnancy some ppl eh

wow i new breastfeeding was meant to help with the weight loss, but i didnt realise that it was around 300-400 calories per day.....well im defo going to persavere with breastfeeding..no matter what lol

i think everyone is different some people naturally get back into shape and others need to work at it. im one of the unlucky ones who need to really work at.....but i just think of the satisfaction i'l have when im back in shape and looking like a yummy mummy...lol

Oh don't get me wrong, It took me about 6 weeks for my hips to get back to normal and my belly etc but my thighs just seem to love being curvy. I have to really work at my thighs to keep them in shape. drives me mad. If i look at food weight seems to find my thighs

Will probably find it harder this time around as its so nr xmas and I LOVE my food! xmas is just my time of year and as its winter i always think "ah another mince pie wont hurt" where as my daughter was born in april so I wanted to get to my summer shape lol so I really worked hard.

I guess having to stick to the same routine of getting my daughter ready etc as well as the baby will help burn some of the weight off. plus my partner now works nights so wont be getting much help from him... which weight loosing wise is a bonus (but mentally wise will probably do my head in )

yeah loosing wieght over the christmas period is going to be a struggle...so i think i will wait till january...make it my new years resolution lol

my friend has just announced on facebook she just had her baby!!! so jealous.
her waters broke sunday afternoon, they kept her in over night, but her contractions wernt very heavy or regular...so they sent her home, and was told rest. they said unless anything progress's stay home and call us wednesday morning. so anyway nothing had happened, she called this morning, they told her to go in. they induced her first thing.
and then at 12 o'clock she gave birth to baby boy......

its really made me nervous again though...i just want it to happen and i want her here lol

Although breastfeeding is supposed to burn alot of extra calories (I've heard 500/600), they don't mention that when you breastfeed you're hungry alot more of the time. So you are burning lots of calories, but you're eating a lot more too. That's what I've heard alot of people say anyway.

I think it's going to be extra hard losing weight when it'll be just before christmas

How about.. after we've had the baby's we carry on using our picture forum to help encourage eachother to lose weight? Like, posting a monthly picture to see how much we've lost etc. No one has to put their weight on or anything, just pictures if you want to or how much you've lost etc? Up to you lot xx

I bought a fantastic dress today for a meal we're going to for my grandad and brother's birthday this Saturday! I was pondering what things I already had that I could wear when I decided to look in New Look as they're the only place in our town with a maternity section that isn't ludicrously expensive. I found a purple floor length dress that sinches in at the top of my bump nicely for... wait for it... £4!!!!!!!!!!! Supposed to be £28!! It looks fantastic on, and makes me look reeeeaaaaaaalllllly pregnant but that's a good thing.

A few weeks ago my mum was in hospital (some of you on my facebook will have seen) and I was stressing out and quite frankly pissed off because no-one was giving me updates. Bear in mind I live 70 miles away from the whole family. And I had a status of "wondering when not being told anything will make me worry less" as my auntie told me my mum told her not to tell me until she told me herself because she didn't want me to worry unnecessarily the day before. And it turned out to be a miscommunication thing... my mum told them she was telling me stuff, when she wasn't. My cousin on this status told me what was going on, and I thanked him. Thought nothing of it after that. THEN a day later, my other cousin told me if I was really that upset and concerned I'd BE over there!!! Erm, excuse me, but I have work, and I live three sodding trainrides away, I have no money, and I ASKED people to keep me updated! And she told me off for not being considerate to my auntie and uncle for "bending over backwards for her"!! I didn't accuse them of anything, nor did I mention any names... in fact I meant my brother because he was asked by both me and my mum to let me know... oh yeah then the cousin who told me stuff's bloody girlfriend had a go at me as well! Erm, what the hell has it got to do with you cheeky bint!

Anyway, that is why it is good that this dress makes me look really pregnant... to rub it in their faces at this meal. Sounds petty I know, but I don't care.

I might post a pic of it on later I'm just so chuffed I got such a bargain!!

I think i'd rather not know anyway... then I wont be worrying about it. lol

I still have to get a wardrobe for baby, everything's in storage boxex at the moment in sizes by month and its doing my head in!
I want to be able to go and open his wardrobe and look at things rather than looking through stupid storage boxes!

My OH is trying to get out of going shopping again this wkend! we actually had the 1st argument we have had in AGES because the closer its getting the more he seems to be burrying his head! REALLY getting on my last nerve!
So I kinda told him that if he backs out this wkend then he better start sucking up to his mum as he will be living with her from now on dramatic I know (and SO not something I would do) but I was really getting annoyed. he keeps putting it off... to go to the pub and watch football with his friends... which he can do once the shops are closed thanks very much (ok not the watching football bit but hello its 1 frickin 1 i'm asking for!!!)

Sorry rant over xx

LoL Emmylee...I would do exactly the same thing.
They should have been updating you anyway and cant expect you to drop everything when you asked to be informed.

familys are so frickin annoying!!!
I havent spoken to my dad since last xmas because his wife if an evil bint. I informed him I was pregnant (because I thought it would be rude not to say anything) and I havent heared anything from him. Not even to see how my daughter is (his grandaughter).
its true what they say... you can choose your friends but you cant choose your family (unfortunatly)

Yeah it's also the fact that my SPD limits me from travelling a lot... now I can understand them not really knowing that, but they knew I was 7 months pregnant I mean I'm only going to this meal thing because my OH is coming with me to help with the travelling. He helps me up out of seats and up steps and things

My dad has been the only reasonable relation through all of this! And he's labelled the devil by my mum's side of the family!
